TO THE PUBLIC. 


Having noticed a variety of circumstances within about forty 
years, in relation to society, that men in general seem to pass 
over; from a principle of duty to my God and to my country, 
I drop a few hints in relation to them. 

The safety of my person has been threatened: but thus far I 
have been preserved; though two, to appearance, lost their lives 
through being mistaken for me: and one impostor, not aware of 
tliis fact, has deceived thousands by assuming my name in his 
career. 






I 







ANALECTIC HISTORY, &c. 


1. According to tradition, or common received opin¬ 
ion, the WOMEN govern the men, and the PRIESTS go¬ 
vern the women; and from this chain of causes extend 
their influence to rule the world. 

2. How far the ideas are correct, when taken in re¬ 
lation to the Jews and Pagans, or Mahommedans and 
Christians —each man must think for himself. 

3. The associated ideas in the chain of causes to ex¬ 
tend clerical influence, socially, must be kept in mind 
when marked thus [*] with a star! 

"'he King of Belgium, though a Protestant, by a 
( rion from the Pope, married a Catholic on cer- 

1 NDiTioNB,” &c., amongst which the wife retains 

1 ileges of her own religion and church; and the 

< N are to be educated her way. So in South 

' in certain eases where the Roman Church can 
•hing, but gain all. 

larriage ceremonies, when performed by any ex- 
Priest, in holy orders, by order and succession, 
binding^ on one party to live with the other—set- 
laughtthe laws of the country, which make it a 
_ qtract. 

6. O’Connell tells the British Parliament, that the 
idea that Catholics are not bound to keep faith with he- 
reticks, when deduced from the Council of Constance, 
in the case of John Huss, in 1416, and that of Jerome of 
Prague, wasan error which had crept into history. 

7. But if a Council of Bishops, with the Pope at their 
head, embrace the “infallibility” that cannot ERR—and 
they decree as in the case of Huss and Jerome, will it 
not require a court of as great authority and equal power 
to negative and undo what the other hath done? 

8. Has such a general Council ever revoked and con¬ 
demned such proceedings as in the above case.^ 




4 


9. How then can one plight faith to the other, if the 
obligations are not binding on each party alike? And 
what assurance of fidelity can one party give the other, 
if the plight of faith is not equally obligatory to be per¬ 
formed on each side? 

10. Such a theory embraces the idea of a privileged 
order of men. For, first, they are not bound but in their 
own way. Secondly, may chastise their own people.— 
Thirdly, may receive stolen goods in some cases, and the 
courts excuse their giving account how and where they 
came by them, &c. Fourthly, to burn books and the Bi¬ 
ble, &c. which would be criminal in the eye of the law, 
if performed by any other man or set of men! 

11. Such an association of men (over a numerous bo¬ 
dy of people, who are governed by the doctrine of pas¬ 
sive obedience and non-resistance) who act in unison, and 
all pull one way together, setting up an empire of their 
ov/n, independent of all others, in the centre of an em¬ 
pire! What an impressive thought! 

12. About the time that the un-Holy Alliance was or¬ 
ganized, the Pope, who had been a prisoner in France 
for a number of years, returned back to Rome; and on 
perceiving that the terror which once awed the people 
into obedience in the days of the Inquisition, was gone 
off from the public mind; something must be done to call 
back the halcyon days of the Church to its ancient splen¬ 
dor and aggrandizement, when a Bishop or a Priest was 
more reverenced than an Emperor or a King, and their 
power more thought of and esteemed in obedience. 

13. Consequently the School of Cardinals, (which 
may be considered the Pope’s privy council,) with the 
Pope at their head, the ORDER of JESUITS were 
called out of their dormancy from obscurity, to action, in 
the religious and political world, socially. And the Po¬ 
tentates of the earth were called upon by the Holy Father 
to receive and to recognize and patronize them according- 

14. Many persons are well acquainted with the his¬ 
tory of this order of men, as far as their society has been 
brought to light; others know not what the term “Jesuit” 
means. 

15. Hence a short history in miniature of events is 
subjoined for the information of such. 


5 


16. Rome Pagan had seven forms of government^ 
answering to the seven heads of the Red Dragon with 
seven crowns, which denote supreme power; 1st Kings, 
2nd Consuls, 3rd Dictators, 4th Civil Triumviri, 5th De¬ 
cemviri, 6th Military Tribunes, 7th Imperial. 

17. There were twelve Caesars in succession; the 
last of which constituted the tail of the Dragon, and 
which drew a third part of the stars, &-c. and cast them 
to the earth.^ 

18. This was Constantine the Great, so called. 

19. He is said to have been born in England ; and 
took the scarlet ov purple at York; raised an Image on a 
Cross, vvhich he carried in front of his army to enlist the 
Christians in his favor, to gain and keep the Imperial 
dignity, about the year 330. 

20. Here may be considered the beginning of images 
in the Church in point of date. 

21. Paganism was abolished and the Idolaters per¬ 
secuted in turn, as Christianity became the ^^established 
religion'^ of the Land. 

22. The stars or heavenly-minded ministers of the 
Church, by such a sudden transition, were attracted by 
earthly grandeur, to the earth or earthly things—and 
here may be the date that Popery was begotten, in em¬ 
bryo. 

23. In these days creeds were introduced, and rivers 
of blood spilt about the Trinity, by the power of Law 
Religion and Arians. Hence the beginning of ortho¬ 
doxy and heterodoxy in the Church, so called. 

24. There was made a donation of a tract of country^ 
which laid the foundation for him to become a temporal 
prince. 

25. Anciently, Elder and Bishop and Overseer were 
considered of equal grade, and the words meant the 
same thing. 

26. But when met in Council, as an association, a 
President or Moderator was chosen; and the Bishop of 
Rome was generally put in the seat; hence what was 
done out of respect at first was claimed as his right; and 
therefore to be called “Bishop of bishops or universal 
Bishop.” 

27. Phocus wishing to be in power murdered the 
emperor, six sons and two daughters, and then compro- 


6 


raised with the Pope, who was to give the usurper ab~ 
golution for the deed committed, and he in turn gave the 
pompous title by law—Bishop of Bishops, or universal 
Bishop in 606, the same day Mahomet is said to have 
taken to his cave. 

28. Thus Mahometanism and Popery were born 
about one date, run parallel together, and will both fall 
about one time. 

29. The doctrine of absolution has been made use of 
for political purposes, in different ages, in different coun¬ 
tries, and for different purposes. 

30. About the year 1077 Pope Gregory the VII 
claimed to be the Vicegerent of the Almighty upon earth; 
and that Kings acknowledge the reception of their 
crowns from him, or he would absolve their subjects 
from allegiance to the monarchs, who then would not be 
obeyed—to retain their power and dignity, obedience in¬ 
to compliance was found necessary, as in the case of 
John, king of England; and so the Papacy went over 
the crowned heads of Europe. 

31. The Barbarians, like the North American Indi¬ 
ans, from the northern hive—Sweeden, Russia, Denmark, 
&c. poured down upon the Roman Empire; despising 
Literature, as tending to make men effeminate, destroying 
all the fine arts and books in their power, and such ci¬ 
ties or places as were too strong to be taken by them, 
they would stink out, by murdering prisoners in the 
night under the walls, the contagion of which became 
unbareable, creating a plague among the people. 

32. And when the Empire was subjugated laid a 
foundation for those governments, in prophecy denomi¬ 
nated ten horns kingdoms, which are represented with 
‘9cn crowns” on those horns. 

33. The conquerors parcelling out the countries to 
their followers—none were considered freemen but the 
nobles, and their will became the law; the people were 
vassals or slaves; and when a man sold his estate, the 
people were sold with it. 

34. The ruins of those ancient castles on the tops 
of rnoimtains and most inaccessible places, around 
which the vassals settled for safety, are monuments of 
the feudal system, or system of confusion, there, being no 
order or regularity as a tribunal of justice to which one 


might appeal, except from the will of the tyrant to that 
of the clergy; which gave the latter an ascendency. 

35. Thus from cause to effect, the growth of Papal 
authority may be seen, and bottomed on the old Roman 
Imperial code, with a new name—the beast out of the 
sea—and the “ dragon gave him \\\^ power, and seat, and 
great authority.’^ 

36. Seven heads, seven hills of Rome; on four have 
been royal palaces on which the Popes have resided— 
the fifth was added—hence five are fallen, 1810—the sixth 
is now under the government of Babylon—the 7th will, 
with the beast, after the ascent from the bottomless pit. 

37. The Reformation in Germany, under Martin Lu¬ 
ther, began about 1517. 

38. There arose a body of men in Spain with the de¬ 
sign to overthrow the Reformation, and to subjugate the 
world to the Pope, and yet virtually to govern it them¬ 
selves. 

39. Their system of government is Military; their 
character is Clerical, capable of the greatest chicanery, 
like the chameleon, which can appear in any colour it 
happens to light upon,—by becoming all things to all 
men; and thus enter into the secrets of others; but at the 
same time to keep their own secrets, and have their own 
object continually in view. 

40. There are grades in the society, superior and 
subordinate. They are men, as a body, the most learned 
the world ever produced, when nature and art are sub¬ 
joined. 

41. They speak the word Jesus [or Jesu] frequently 
to appear sanctified, and are called JESUITS. 

42. Governments finding them to be men of talents, 
both natural and acquired, capable of transacting busi¬ 
ness with despatch, employed them in places of trust, to 
officiate in important posts, both of honour and profit, 
without mistrusting their object to overthrow all govern¬ 
ments incompatible with their own; and so establish them¬ 
selves on their ruins, by seizing timely the reins. 

43. By the different branches of literature and mecha¬ 
nism, they found ways and means to introduce themselves 
into all countries, and marched on towards empire for 
about two hundred years. 

44. Being sanguine of success, they acted premature- 


8 


fy, and htnce let out evidence of their object and design, 
which gave rise to their banishment from every nation 
under heaven. And yet by their sagacity and chicanery, 
have their agents disguised so as to avoid detection.— 
Thus in China, England, Spain, Portugal, &c. 6lc. 

45. Their conduct in the Island of Japan, gave rise 
to the exclusion of all intercourse with foreigners, except 
the Dutch; and they are permitted to land only and be 
shut up in a kind of yard, to do business, without any 
permission for intercourse with the people of the country, 
as a kind of prisoner for the time being, 

46. If an American vessel arrives on the coast, boats 
will come off to inquire who they are and what they want; 
but will not allow them to land, nor sell them any thing; 
if in distress, will give what is necessary to relieve their 
wants, with the injunction not to return; and to tell their 
nation and people to stay away and not come there. 

47. Their conduct with the Abyssinians is as well 
known in history, as the powder plot to blow up the 
Parliament in the days of James! 

48. South America was the last place where they at¬ 
tempted an independent government amongst the natives, 
betwixt Laplata and Chili. 

49. But their conduct gave rise to their being exiled 
from thence, by the courts of Spain and Portugal; and 
about sixty years ago, the Pope found it necessary to put 
them down in Italy. 

50. Hence it was supposed that the society and order 
of Jesuits was annihilated and had become extinct. But 
it was a mistake; they were only dormant —they still 
were numerous and virtually governed the Roman 
Church, which is claimed to amount to two hundred mil¬ 
lions; i.e. by computation, one-fourth of the human fami¬ 
ly. The Protestants are computed at fifty-four millions. 

51. In the Province of New York, it was death for 

one of those men to be found one hundred years ago; and 
when 36 negroes were there executed for attempting to 
burn the Fort and town, a Priest by the name of llry, and 
the man and woman at whose house he was * * * *^ 

were executed also as being the instigators, as England 
was then preparing at that place an expedition against 
the Havannah. 

52. Here the Jesuits must be left until called from 


9 


their obscurity about 1813, after the Pope’s release in 
France and his return to Rome; and about which time 
the un*Holy Alliance took date of origin, some months 
after the Declaration of War in 1812. 

53. Oliver Cromwell designed to organize a society to 
thwart the Jesuits and counteract them, but his death 
prevented it. 

54. The crowned heads of England from time imme¬ 
morial, have been more or less tinctured with popery, till 
the time of William III and the Georges, with the 
exception of the boy Edward the VI, for they virtually 
acted as Popes themselves, if not professing Catholicism! 

55. The question was proposed. If a man could be 
^'morally honest politicallyV^ 

56. If not, may God cleanse the world and turn a 
pure language upon all flesh! 

57. Just after the overthrow of the French in Russia, 
the Potentates of the Old World entered into an associa¬ 
tion to support the principles of monarchy in union, and 
blasphemously took the unholy title of “the Holy Alli¬ 
ance.” 

58. The term Holy, belongs to religion; and the word 
Alliance, belongs to politics; but when associated involve 
both! 

59. Shortly after their organization in council assem¬ 
bled, the question was agitated—Where did this idea of 
Ziierty begin, which hath agitated Europe, and taken us 
twenty years to rectify? 

60. The answer was, it came from America! 

61. Then, said they—“While America remains we 
shall have our work to do over again. Therefore, all 
people who claim the right of choosing their own mas¬ 
ter, must be put down; for no government is legitimate 
but that which is hereditary.” 

62. The doctrine of expatriation they denied, and 
gave England to understand that she might reconquer 
America if she could; they would not give the U. States 
assistance, as Louis XVI did, and brought his head to 
the block. 

63. The sages of the Revolution being gone, and 
there being oZc? lories and traitors in the land, our con¬ 
quest by them was deemed practicable and easy to be ac¬ 
complished. 


10 


64. Hence a son of the King was appointed for a- 
Viceroy, to come over and govern the country; Governors 
for the several States also; and Packenham for Louisiana! 

65. A kingdom or nation divided against itself cannot 
stand. Therefore, the doctrine of nullification was 
disseminated among us, that a part might side with them. . 
First divide and then devour! 

66. Henry is despatched as an agents with Henryism, 
to Boston, and many honest and some deceitful Ameri¬ 
cans lent themselves as tools, and danced like puppets, 
without viewing the powers, or Holy Alliance, who were 
behind the curtain pulling the wires! 

67. A man in the garb and dress of a Quaker, who 
said thou and thee, was sent to Canada to see his broth¬ 
er at Montreal, who was an officer in the British army, 
to ascertain the truth of Henryism, and make report to 
James. 

68. Hence the hundred thousand dollars for secret 
service money. Henry got fifty thousand for the papers 
and names of persons. But the impostor Count Crileon 
swindled Henry out of 35,000 under a pretext of a No¬ 
bleman’s estate in France, when he had none; and so ful¬ 
filled the old proverb—What is got over the devil’s back 
goes under his belly. 

69. The government of England not knowing that 
Henry had delivered up the papers, appointed him to a 
post of honour and profit worth ten thousand per annum; 
which he lost by delivering up the papers prematurely, 
supposing his services not properly rewarded. 

70. The Governor of Vermont began the puppet bu¬ 
siness as a tool to bring on the quarrel between the Na¬ 
tional and State Governments, and moreover to let in 
John Bull, whointended to open an internal communica¬ 
tion between Canada and the sea-board—not as in the 
former war, to New York, but from Plattsburgto Balti¬ 
more. 

71. The Governor ordered all the militia from Ver¬ 
mont, who were in the U. States’ service at Plattsburg 
in the State of N. York, where his authority did not ex¬ 
tend, to return home; thus to raise confusion in the grand 
army, and provoke James to have him prosecuted, to 
bring on the internal quarrel, to get the nation divided, 


11 


and the Eastern States go offto themselves nnder English 
protection. 

7-2. The Governor of Massachusetts plead the Qua¬ 
ker’s sentiment—i. e. no fight, to weaken the arm of the 
National Government; but at the same time got a law 
passed to call out the whole physical force of that State to 
protect the Governor of Vermont in that overt act, in 
case of prosecution. 

73. The Governor of Connecticut followed in train 
with the 144,000 dollar scrape, and Hartford Convention 
grew out of it. In the mean time John Bull proclaimed 
from N. Vork to New Orleans in a state of blockade, 
whilst New England was left exempt; which shows that 
there was a mutual understanding by the leading parties 
on both sides. 

74. A society of a political nature was formed with 
the name of Washington Society'^ prostituted to it, with 
the pleasing words, “Ziier/y,” ‘■‘peace,” and “commerce.” 
And to make it more popular, a house of great extent 
was built in Philadelphia and 12,000 dollars were sub¬ 
scribed before the work was begun; but the building 
took fire and burnt down. 

75. There were none of this society south of Penn¬ 
sylvania; but if the British had succeeded at Plattsburg 
and Baltimore, the East was to have gone off to them¬ 
selves—according to the views of nullifiers, if the strength 
of the people could be brought over, and the State of 
New York go with them; but the Governor of New 
York {Tompkins, to his eternal honor be it spoken) he 
was true to his trust and to his country. But the abuse 
he afterwards met with, sunk his spirits, and no doubt 
was the primary cause of driving him out of the world. 

76. Those men who were true and faithful to their 
trust were coolly treated, as Decatur, by the Blue Lights, 
when drove into the Thames—yet those of the English 
when taken, w'ere treated as noblemen in the land.— 
And the presses which were bought, and the people 
that were duped, were brought to rejoice with the then 
nullifiers in the land, when any thing was disastrous or 
destructive and failed of success in the welfare of the 
country. 

77. The Secretary of the War Department, who de¬ 
serted his post and fled into oblivion and gave up the ship 


12 


when John Bull came to Washington, and when he 
knew they were coming six weeks beforehand, made 
no preparation to meet them and ward off the blow; but 
on the other side removed obstructions, to facilitate their 
advance, by allurements in the way. 

78. The circumstance of delivering up Washington, 
the derangement of military arrangements in the North 
and South, to give the invaders the advantage—when 
taken into account with the circumstances at the close ot 
the Revolutionary war, to destroy all that was gained, 
and make bad worse, by sowing discord in the army by 
the anonymous letter to provoke the officers to usurp a 
military despotism, &<c. as mentioned in the different 
histories of America—and also his tyrannical conduct, as 
mentioned in the history of the settlements and distress¬ 
es of Wycoming valley, are almost unparalleled, for moral 
corruption in social affairs, in the annals of the world. 

79. God sees not as man sees! Man may appoint and 
be disappointed! Great things turn on a very small 
pivot. 

80. The affairs of Plattsburg and Baltimore were both 
atone time in action. Expresses from both points would 
pass each other at New York nearly at the same time. 
During the suspension, (awful indeed) as to how matters 
would terminate, the actions, physiognomy and motions, 
served as an index to the heart and mind, and made ob¬ 
vious to a discerning eye, acquainted with human 
nature, which and who were Americans, and those that 
were tories, and on the other side of the house ? 

81. For the weight on the mind that is felt at the 
heart, the seat of life, has an indescribable influence on 
the nerves, and vice versa, in case of joy and anima¬ 
tion, by anticipation. 

8*2. These were visible in the streets, first one way 
and then the other, in the struggle, and then the sequel. 

83. A handful of men were sent to meet 14,000—in 
Lexington play, there was a running fight for several miles, 
in which many were killed, with two officers who were 
appointed to storm the works at Plattsburg; and both were 
buried in one grave on a hill that was pointed out to me a 
few weeks ago. The name of one was Wellington! This 
casm in the order of arrangements, no doubt, saved Platts¬ 
burg by land. 


13 


84. On the water the Americans were ready to strike, 
when a Cock flew up the rigging and began to crow, 
which was considered as a favorable omen, and encouraged 
the men to hold on a few moments, when down came the 
British flag. 

85. So the death of General Ross at Baltimore, the 
circumstances attending it; the boy with his gun—the 
hundreds of shells flung into the fort and one into the 
magazine of powder, and all to no eflect; and how few 
lives were lost! 

8(}. Twenty thousand men^—ninety pieces of mount¬ 
ed artillery, andtenthousand buflaloe robes for a winter’s 
campaign, were to cross the ice; but the lake did not 
freeze over, which frustrated their design to invade the 
North. 

87. At the same time, Packenham, with nearly 
twenty-five thousand men, attempted an invasion in the 
South, where rarely any thing more than a white frost is 
to be seen; but just then tide water froze two* inches 
thick; so that in landing, as much work could not be done 
in tluee days as otherwise would be done—which re¬ 
tarded John Bull until the Kentuckians and others got 
down and prepared for the fatal eighth of January, 1815, 
when the Americans had seven killed and six wounded; 
while the British, according to their own accounts, lost 
upwards of 4,000 of their bravest men. 

88. The killed, wounded and missing, with those 
that died of fatigue and the climate, &:.c. their loss there, 
on that occasion, is admitted to be near 10,000 men, 
whilst the whole force of the Americans was but about 
one-third of that of the English, and these principally 
backwoods militia, and about one-third of them without 
arms! 

89. Though frost may be accounted for on natural 
principles, yet there are no principles in nature on which 
one can account why the frost should just then be trans¬ 
ferred from the north to the south, and keep out two such 
powerful armies both at one and the same time, and such 
a circumstance of the frost never be known to transpire 
so before or since! But it seems as if the Providence of 
God superintended the affairs of the nation to our salva¬ 
tion, for purposes beyond the reach of human ken ! 

90. The Delegates from the “Hartford Convex- 

2 




14 


tion” were intoxicated with their self-importance, as 
they represented a great some body, and came to Wash¬ 
ington to make demands of the President, (for a pretext to 
make excitement) which he could not perform. 

91. But when informed that the Hartford Convention 
was a self-created body, and not known in law, and 
hence they could be introduced only sls private gentlemen, 
their importance shrunk in their own estimation, and 
rather than not see the President xit all, they consented 
to the latter mode. 

92. Just then the news of peace came, and they retreat¬ 
ed and fled with precipitation for home, being hooted by 
the way in the towns through which they flew. 

93. But their folly is known to all men; and will be 
banded down with infamy to posterity. 

94. Thus ended the first attempt oftheun-Holy Alli¬ 
ance at our destruction; and by an overruling Providence, 
a rank has been given to the American character among 
tlie nations of the earth of the first magnitude, like the 
fiun among the stars of the firmament for splendor and bril- 
fiancy. 

95. On foreign coin “Rex dei gratia,” is the motto; de¬ 
nying that “Pcop/e have any Rights,'’ hence cannot make 
kings : they reign by the grace of God, and the 
“Rex” or kings have their authority to rule and govern as 
the gift of God. 

96. Therefore at the secret Treaty of Verona, it was 
agreed that Representative Governments were detri¬ 
mental to the RIGHTS of PRINCES; and therefore 
with the Liberty of the Press must be suppressed, and 
put down, and rooted out of the world. 

97. Here they called in the assistance of the POPE 
and CLERGY, to enable them to accomplish their ob¬ 
ject in ^'submitting the nations;" thanking him for what 
be had done, and soliciting for the future. 

98. Russia and Austria were to give France so many 
millions annually, to enable her to send her armies into 
Spain and Portugal to put down the principles of liberty 
Chere; and then all hands were to give aid to subdue 
l8outh America, and fall on the UNITED STATES, and 
take us by surprise and unprepared to sustain the shock, 
feefore we were aw are of any such thing; and so make a 


15 


conquest and destruction of our land and nation, govern¬ 
ment and liberties, at a stroke! 

99. But James Monroe, our then President, having 
some hint on the subject, in his communication to Con¬ 
gress remarked, that America did not meddle with Euro¬ 
pean politics, and they must not meddle with ours; and 
the day they planted a standard in South America, it 
would be considered as a declaration of war against us; 
and be met accordingly with all the physical force which 
the resources and strength of the nation afforded. 

100. This was like a peal of thunder to the Poten¬ 
tates of the old world, and brought them to a dead 
halt at once. 

101. But their views upon our rising glory, which 
puts their splendor in the shades of the back ground, pro¬ 
vokes them to jealousy and revenge; therefore our de-!- 
struction is not yet given up. 

102. The affairs of Belgium, Netherlands or Flan¬ 
ders, is but a rattle box to amuse the public, whilst other 
objects behind the curtain are going forward in a com¬ 
bined conspiracy against the liberties of mankind through¬ 
out the world! 

103. And the Americans may associate a St. Bartholo¬ 
mews ideally, and read their destiny in that of Poland, 
unless the people are wide awake, individually and col¬ 
lectively, to their interest, and to their safety and to their 
welfare; and not stupid as Jackasses for others to ride 
into office! 

104. In the Revolutionary struggle there was virtue 
and resolution among the people as the heart of one man, 
hence the sages in the council and in the field. So 
Washington—“ united we stand, divided we fall!— 
Deem any man an enemy who will dare to mention a 
separation of the nation and division of the country.” 

105. In the nullification business of the north, the 
people did not go with their leaders in the principle to 
divide the union; but when discouraged and unpro¬ 
vided for by their rulers, they of their own volition 
flew to arms, as exemplified by the Vermonters in the 
affair of Plattsburg, and that of Stonington. 

106. So in the present contest; by dividing the States, 
the people have nothing to gain; but much to lose, and 
every thing at stake. 


16 


107. It will cost more to support two Government! 
than one; and but half the wealth to do it with—because 
a half must bare the whole. 

108. Jealousy, war, armies, expenses and fortifica¬ 
tions for safety—inroads, plunder, murder, rapine with all 
the horrors concomitant on war; and of all wars, civil or 
domestic wars are the worst, as exemplified in the days 
of the feudal system, a war of extermination! For bitterness 
and revenge, connected with bigotry of a hypocritical 
kind, excite animosity of the most dangerous kind, that 
expels calm reason and humane feelings, bordering upon 
insanity, diabolical rage and madness. 

109. Look back to the dreadful scenes of the Whig 
and Tory days in the South! Hear the descendants tell 
of the days and sufferings of their fathers and mothers— 
neighbor against neighbor— * * * * too horrid for the 
historians of those days to fully record. 

110. After the failure of the second attempt to ruin 
this country, a third plan is adopted by the un-Holy 
Alliance. 

111. The order of Jesuits being called out from their 
dormant obscurity by the Pope, with the request that the 
different potentates of the nations should receive them; and 
i\\Qthanks of the Holy Alliance given to the Holy Father 
for what he had done, with a solicitation for further aid 
in submitting the nations; the King of France being a 
Jesuit, sent over a ship of war loaded with Jesuits to this 
country, who landed in one of the middle states. 

1F2. The next year one hundred more were sent to 
New Orleans, to take possession of the valley of the 
Mississippi. 

113. The De propagandi, or those who have the di¬ 
rection of the Faith, send from the funds of the ‘‘congre¬ 
gation,” a million of dollars annually—so admitted for a 
number of years past, and last year more than 2,000,000 
came over, to help their forwarding the work of their 
faith. 

114. This, when taken into conjunction with the 
vast sums levied upon their own people in this country, 
which has been known to amount to a dollar per month, 
deducted from a poor man’s wages laboring on a canal; 
and a girl at house work, at 25 cents per month, &c. will 
account in some degree for the vast number of buildings 


17 


of a religious and literary nature erected within a few 
years. 

115. The congregation, so called, is composed of 
rich men: as merchants, kings and nobles, &c. &c. and 
supply the treasury of the church with whatever sum is 
W'anting to forward the work of faith. 

116. Young men and young w^omen, of good abilities, 
easy address, and commanding manners, are selected and 
educated in all the living languages of the known world, 
to be in readiness and prepared to follow any openings 
that may present to view, to forward the work of Faitii 
with all possible assiduity. Thus the Jesuits pursue the 
SCIENCE of SYSTEM, whicli lias characterized their order 
from the beginning, systematically. 

117. Men, of their own volition when \x\ power, never 
relinquish it, either in church or state, but from necessi¬ 
ty, not of choice. 

118. This was exemplified in the case of the Nobles 
both in France and Denmark; one relinquishing it to the 
Republic and the other to absolute Monarchy. 

119. Hence, “Rexes,” or Kings, will not relinquish 
their power, which they claim to be the gift of God, 
whilst there is a possibility of holding on; and so ofthe men 
in Holy orders by succession from St. Peter; but they give 
mutual aid for the help and support of each other; though 
each have their own object and ends in view. 

120. Williain Penn, in 1681, came over with one 
hundred Quaker families to begin the settlement of 
Pennsylvania. And instead of establishing Quakerisrt^, 
he contrary to all other legislatures, established equal 
rights of conscience , and any man who believed in one 
God, with future reward and punishment, was eligible 
to any post of honor or profit which his virtues and tal¬ 
ents should merit; whilst Law-religion prevailed in the 
Southern, Northern, and even Eastern States. 

121. One hundred and seven years after, ihe princi¬ 
ples of Penn became a trait in our national character, con¬ 
stitutionally; and Law-religion went down the hill. 

122. In 1803, in Louisiana, the possession of a Bible, 
or four persons saying prayers together in English, ex¬ 
posed the offenders to the inquisition & calaboose. But now 
Louisiana and Florida share the blessings of the liberal; 

2 -^ 


18 


principles of Penn, with the greatest part of North 
America. 

P23. Those men who will not tolerate others, wish 
to be tolerated themselves: as exemplified by history in 
the few days of Charles the 1st. The Romans, the 
Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, and Independents, each 
had power and became oppressors and suppliants in their 
turn, until William, Prince of Orange, adopted a new 
principle of toleration and restriction, unknown before in 
the fast anchored Isle; and which hath quieted the pub¬ 
lic mind measurably ever since. 

124. Man by nature is a democrat, wishing to have 
no superior; but in relation to his neighbor, he is a tyrant, 
wishing for the ascendency. 

125. If man is allowed to judge of his own religion, 
he judges that he is right; but if he judge of another’s 
religion, he concludes he must be wrong. From this 
mode of judging, it must follow that they are all right, or 
else that they are all wrong. 

126. The associated ideas, of the worshipper and the 
worshipped, cannot be separated. Hence the act that tol¬ 
erates man to pay his devotions to his God, tolerates the 
Almighty to receive them; both are despotisms, and blas¬ 
phemous in their nature; for the conscience of man is the 
Divine prerogative only. 

127. “ John X,” an Irishman red hot from Rome, 
came into the country; took the pompous title of “ Bish¬ 
op of Charleston,” got the church property arranged 
agreeably to Catholicism; and the foundation laid for fu¬ 
ture movements; then went into the state of Georgia on a 
tour, where the Methodists and other societies opened 
their meeting houses to him, which gave him an opportu¬ 
nity to remove former prejudices against his way, and by 
his address to preponderate the other way. 

128. Then into South Carolina before the Legislature 
to promulgate the doctrine of nullification, at Columbia 
the seat of Government for that state. 

129. An Englishman by the name of Cooper, another 
foreigner, admitted by Englishmen to be in British pay, 
is put into the College at Columbia in South Carolina, to 
fill the heads of the young colegians with the seed and 
doctrine of nullification. 

130. The digest of South Carolina retains the name 


19 


and titles of the King and his officers, so arranged, that 
an uniformed reader, from that work, could not determine 
whether she was a State of the Union, or a British 
Province. Hence the old seed of Toryism as a founda¬ 
tion for Nullification, and a combustible to take fire and 
explode in the land. 

131. Hamilton* the dictator as it were, organized a 
secret society in Charleston and a branch at Columbia, in 
order to make the subject of Nullification popular and 
systematical. 

132. South Carolina gave all her votes to Floyd* the 
Governor of Virginia, though he was not a candidate for 
the Presidency. 

133. He, in his communication to the legislature, went 
the whole hog with the nullifiers. Here the associated 
ideas must be kept in mind, who governs the world, and 
how. 

134. Three candidates for the Presidency, and a 
fourth intending to offer, who are on the same side in re¬ 
lation to Nullification. 

135. Who own the lots, principally, on Capitol Hill? 
How long ago was an anchor, by forethought, cast to the 
windward to gain ^n ascendency there? 

136. Legislative sanction to raise money by a Lot¬ 
tery to build a Cathedral—which gave it a kind of 
sanction, j^virtually, by law. Why those cells at the 
bottom, answering to the description, as far as developed, 
of the places of the inquisition; and those strong doors and 
locks and bars, like those in the state prisons? Also, the 
contradictory and evasive answers on the subject, when 
questioned, after the board fence blew down, at the time 
of building, when it was written over the gate or door¬ 
way of the fence “No admission”—but when blown 
down the vaults in the basement story might be seen. 

137. There are vaults in different parts of the United 
States of a similar nature. .And persons are frequently 
missing in different sections of the country, according to 
the papers in the three great towns; whereas it was not 
so reported ten or twenty years ago. 

138. One young woman was rescued from priestly 
confinement by the civil authority in New York. 

139. Some forty or fifty thousand emigrants have 
come to this country, annually, within the last two or 


20 


three years, of that society; and there are agents to stimu¬ 
late emigration; and also funds deposited with agents in 
this country to pay for the passage of those who cannot 
pay for themselves—one agent in Albany, and another 
in New York, and how many more there are in the 
country, we know not. 

140. The Po'pe sent over a number of men, in the char¬ 
acter of C&nsuls, and they were received as such, in their 
official capacity; when the Pope has no shipping at home, 
nor any trade here; but they could spy out the land. 

141. At the siege of New Orleans, the Governor 
(Claiborne,*) and Legislature were intending to deliver 
up the place; and were only prevented by martial law. 

14*2. The Priests, or Clergy, used their influence with 
the women, that their husbands, and sons, and brothers, 
and fathers, and sweet hearts might not obey orders and 
go to the siege; but they would obtain intelligence from 
# # # # jgooner than the other side of the house. 

143. After the affair was over, a virtue was made 
of necessity and they sung the “Te Jeim;”and because civil 
authority must supersede the military, when peace had 
come, the Commander-in-chief suffered and submitted to 
their ceremonies, so as not to -give offence; therefore they 
claim him for theirs. He submitted also to pay the 
thousand dollars as the result of the Tory Judge’s conduct, 
as an example that Civil Law must be obeyed. 

144. Their improvements are extending, and they 
are building new churches in every State from Orleans 
to Maine, at the most prominent points; as Baton Rouge, 
Natchez, Greenville, Gibsonport, Louisville, Bardstown, 
Lexington, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Sandusky, Columbus; 
different parts of Indiana and Illinois and Missouri, 
Pennsylvania and theState of New York; also in Dela¬ 
ware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island,—and in various 
parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire and the 
State of Maine; also at Burlington in Vermont,—all going 
on silent as death and still as midnight, so as not to alarm 
the people of the land. Yet now and then things will 
leak out; expressions like wading in Protestant blood, 
&/C. &c. 

145. When the Pope’s legate came over to curse 
President Hogan, the matter became so serious as to be 
brought before the Legislature of the second State in the 


21 


Union, who were intimidated and dare not act on the 
occasion; assigning as a reason the number of voters on 
that side of the house. They feared and were not will¬ 
ing to be responsible for the consequence that might en¬ 
sue; so they appointed a court to sham and ward it off. 

146. One man expressed his views, the Bishop’s par¬ 
ty took fire, and held caucuses; and so that religious so¬ 
ciety made it a political matter, and all in union elec- 
tionered and pulled one way. 

147. The Government of Mexico have passed a law, 
that the Nunneries shall be visited by the civil authority, 
to see if any are detained against their will; and if so, to 
let the prisoner go free. Not so in the United States: 
foreigners may exercise a power here, as a privileged or¬ 
der, that our laws cannot reach; and there is no provision 
in our government, constitutionally, to act upon the case; 
because it is done under the name and garb of RELI¬ 
GION! 

J48. Such a case or circumstance was never thought 
of nor dreamt of by our fathers when in Convention to 
frame a Constitution; the subject was based on generous 
republican principles of rational and civil liberty, to keep 
down tyranny; but it was never anticipated, that those 
foreigners, under the name and cloak of religion, were 
coming in at the back door, to sap the very foundation of 
our liberty, both in a civil and religious point of view, 
by setting up a government of the ancient imperial Ro¬ 
man code! 

149. Those foreigners from different nations, all of 
one stamp, on the same errand, and to do the same work 
in union together, despise our government and nullify 
our laws, as a privileged order of men, who owe no alle¬ 
giance to our government, but to a foreign Prince— 
view us as heretics, with whom they are not bound to 
keep faith; and hence cannot give us assurance of fideli¬ 
ty. Consequently, how can we trust them, but upon 
proper and equal ground? 

150. When classical men have attempted to expose 
these things within a few years, they have frequently 
received anonymous letters, threatening them with as- 
sascination, as if to terrify and overawe the land. 

151. A late publication justifies the court of Inquisu 
tion, as a court of mercy to burn the body for the good 


22 


of the soul; and that there can be no stable government 
either in church or state without an Inquisition; and to 
burn 60 persons in an hundred years, would awe society 
into obedience. That the followers of Martin Luther 
and John Calvin and Henry the VIII of England, the 
three grand Apostates, must be cut off; and that it is as 
necessary to cut them off in a lump, as it is to amputate 
a rotten limb in order to save the body; and if they get 
cut off they will have none to blame but themselves, for 
they had no right to go out from the Holy Roman Catho¬ 
lic Church; and that if the Protestants use force and pow¬ 
er to oppose them, it is assumed; but if they oppose these 
heretics, their own power is delegated by Divinity. And 
all the ministers of the Protestants, &lc. are denounced to 
a level with the greatest of criminals! 

152. The Italian beggars strolling through the coun¬ 
try with printed papers,purporting them to have been ship¬ 
wrecked, and met with great losses, soliciting money to 
get over their friends, pretending that they cannot talk 
English, &/C. is a hoax on society, and an imposition on 
the people of our country. Jesuits under false charac¬ 
ters in disguise—sometimes they pass for Polish Refu¬ 
gees, at other times as noblemen, merchants, private gen¬ 
tlemen, and priests, &c. &c.—to get into every compa¬ 
ny and to know the state of society and make report ac¬ 
cordingly. 

153. The case of General Nat, so called—as a fana¬ 
tic, so esteemed—that his conduct originated with him¬ 
self. But let it be remembered, that the art of chemistry 
in the proportion of making powder, &c. must have 
been derived from a source elsewhere; and moreover, 
that a similar fuss was arranged from the State of Dela¬ 
ware to the Gulf of Mexico, more than a thousand miles 
in extent—to have broken out about one time—which 
argues the science of system on that occasion; and it is 
obvious that some body besides negroes were behind the 
curtain to pull the wires; for such arrangements, the sys¬ 
tem of the civil police in the South must necessarily 
have prevented a certain class of people the opportunity 
to arrange any way, to have the wishes of the un -Holy 
Alliance accomplished in the destruction of our republic, 

154. The intercepted letter in Virginia, post marked 
Fredericktown in Maryland, superscribed in/gfures, ac- 


23 


knowledging that the Spanish Jesuits brought in those 
arms that were found secreted in New Orleans and de¬ 
signed for the # # # # —jQ seize 

upon the arms and military stores and magazines in the 
several States, the middle and south, &,c. &c., speaks 
volumes of itself. 

155. In Yale College, a collegian swore to become 
President of the U. States. Disappointed ambition excites 
revenge; and a Jesuit afterwards became chaplain to big 
bugs. 

156. At Providence in Rhode Island, the Catholics 
prevented an American from occupying the town-house 
for meeting, which had never been denied before; also the 
same at West Point. 

157. Two kinds of Nuns; one shut up in confine¬ 
ment, without a possibility of an escape from their prison, 
however much may be their desire; the other, called 
the sisters of charity, are to be instruments in spread¬ 
ing the faith, by good works, school-keeping, &c. 

158. Many of our richest people send their sons and 
daughters to the Catholic schools, who take unwearied 
pains to proselyte them over to their faith; and when 
their parents die and the estates fall to the children, the 
leading people of the U. States will be Catholics; and 
where the big fish go, the little ones follow in train. 

159. The Catholic children are all prevented from 
going to any schools but their own; and so they are kept 
pure from heresy; but schools are opened by them to al¬ 
lure the children of other people to come and be educa¬ 
ted by them, and thus to fix early prejudices, which re¬ 
main durable and are hard to wear off. 

160. In boys and girls, from the age of twelve to fif¬ 
teen years, their prejudices by education may be so fix¬ 
ed by artful insinuations and address, that in ninety-nine 
times out of one hundred, they would remain Catholics 
or Papists. 

161. By generation, emigration and those whom they 
proselyte, they augment their numbers fast. They ad¬ 
dress the outward senses by pompous show; distributing 
pictures, &c. d^c. to attract and win over attention to 
their side; but woe to some who apostatize from what is 
called the true faith; if opportunity permit, how are they 
disposed of? In some cases the circumstances look very 
dark and gloomy. 


24 


162. They have more colleges and high-schools of 
literature, than any other society in the U. States. 

163. If all the communicants of the Presbyterians, 
Congregationalists and Methodists, were put in one scale, 
the Catholics put into the other, in point of round num¬ 
bers, it is thought the latter would outnumber the whole. 

164. Whilst other societies are quarrelling and divi¬ 
ding and splitting up into parties; and masons and anti-ma¬ 
sons; skepticks, woodticks, politicks, with hereticks and 
bedticks, and many other ticks, are shaking the nation to 
pieces, to become as a rope of sand—Fanny Wright- 
ism and Owenism with many other isms by foreign in¬ 
fluence, are sowing the seeds of discord in society by de¬ 
stroying confidence and the force of moral obligation 
from the human and public mind, and overturning the 
government of the nation; the object of the un-Holy Al¬ 
liance, and that of the Jesuits and the Holy Father, may 
be accomplished, and theirs established on our ruins. 

165. William IV, the King of England, was popu¬ 
lar beyond that of his predecessors; but he has disappoint¬ 
ed the public and betrayed the people and forfeited their 
confidence by leaning to the side of the un-Holy Alliance; 
and not a man to shout for him now. 

166. George the III went to church—not so heard of 
his son George IV; but when crowned, all the imple¬ 
ments were new modelled in the Catholic style—as the 
cross on the new crown and on the golden staff, &/C. &c. 

167. The ceremonies at the funeral of the wife of 
George the HI, from Kew Palace to Windsor, were 
somewhat papistical; and the master of the ceremonies 
was a Catholic Peer. 

16S. According to the Annual Register, published in 
England a few years since, the Royal family have a “fa¬ 
mily confessor!'.” 

169. All the Royal children are said to have been 
Catholic inclined, with the exception of two—one son 
and one daughter. 

170. Noblemen, called Protestants, to hold their es¬ 
tates, have their domestic chaplains, who are known to be 
sent to France for ordination by a Catholic Bishop, pure 
by order and succession. 

171. The Revolution of France in 1789, caused 6 or 
7000 Priests to take shelter in England; and within twen- 


ty-five years after, upwards of 900 Roman Chapels were 
built in that kingdom. 

172. Algiers was taken possession of by the French, 
under the pretext of putting down piracy and colonizing 
the country. But who were to be sent to Africa, but the 
Protestants and those of liberal principles, who were too 
dangerous to the designs of the Jesuits, to remain at home. 

173. The news by Telegraph reaches Paris of the 
decrees to dismiss the deputies by an arbitary power, and 
the presses suppressed the same day; this turned 36,000 
persons out of employ, and brought on a struggle be¬ 
tween the people and the King, who was dethroned in 
three days. 

174. There was an arrangement between the military 
and civil authority to attack and slaughter the people, to 
strike terror into the public mind at once. 

175. Lafayette and all the deputies of liberal princi¬ 
ples, and editors of periodical works that were liberal, 
were proscribed for assassination; the catalogue of names 
was found with other conspiratol papers, in a secret draw 
of an iron chest, in a subterraneous vault—-for which the 
Ministers were brought to trial and condemned to per¬ 
petual imprisonment. 

176. Here the Prime Minister brought out the “se¬ 
cret treaty of Verona,'^ the first time it ever met the light 
publicly—to show that he could have acted no other w ay 
than he did; in obedience to his sovereign, agreeably 
to the will of the Holy Alliance. 

177. The Jesuits, on the fall of the King, fled in all 
directions; some took shelter in England, &c. Up¬ 
wards of eighty vehicles crossed the Alps filled with them, 
to take shelter in Italy; and such as could not get off', 
disguised themselves and hid in garrets and cellars to save 
themselves. These circumstances speak volumes concern¬ 
ing the Jesuits and the Holy Alliance, as a part of the 
grand conspiracy against representative government and 
the liberties of mankind throughout the world. 

178. The King of France was to let the liberty of 
the press be free; and also to have republican institutions 
about the throne; but he has forfeited the confidence of 
the people, and betrayed the trust reposed in him by 
leaning towards the principles of the un-Holy Alliance! 

179. When the Inquisition was restored in Spain, the 


26 


Jews, Freemasons and hereticks, were allowed but forty 
days to come in and make submission, or share the hor¬ 
rors of that Court. From forty to fifty thousand persons 
were imprisoned in a few days, and most of them have 
never been heard of since. 

180. Catholicism does not change—the principle is 
the same—appearances to the contrary notwithstanding. 

181. How many have been destroyed on account of 
a different name, creed or opinion, within the memory of 
man, in different parts of the world! 

182. The Bonapartists were invited to take shelter 
in Russia as teachers on the noblemen’s estates, to improve 
that empire, and so escape the Bourbons of France.— 
The Jesuits seized the opportunity to occupy those pla¬ 
ces, intending to amalgamate the Greek with the Latin 
Church; but being driven aw'ay by the order of govern¬ 
ment, the Emperor Alexander died by art, which was 
laid to the Masons, and about 14,000 were made away 
with, and most of them have not been heard of since, 
though England w'as accused by the Jesuits, of the deed, 
to prevent the uniting of the two Churches. It cost Rus¬ 
sia i05OO,OOO to supply their place. 

183. On Wexford bridge 197 piked and pitched over, 
163 burnt in a barn, and others who turned Catholics to 
save their lives, were sprinkled by the Priest and then 
taken out and shot, saying it is better for you to die while 
in the faith, than to relapse bac k into heresy, 1798.— 
Look at the book of Martyrs, and see the sameness down; 
and so mind and take care of yourselves. 

184. How many thousand dollars have the Protes¬ 
tants of these United States given to the Catholic cause 
within a few years; and what will be the RECIPROCA¬ 
TION? 

185. Mettirnech and Talleyrand, ^c.—what have 
they to do in the wheel of fortune? and who gave aid 
to the Romish establishments at Hartford and New Haven 
in Connecticut? 

186. The whole world appears to be divided into 
districts and men appointed to act as agents, each to act 
in his field, to make observation, report and receive in¬ 
struction. So the row of fine buildings in N. York and 
at Cincinnati and a place in the interior of Missouri— 
as, if they should fail in their attempt and design upon 


27 


the Old World, to have this country as a refug;e to fly to: 
the see of Rome, the school of Cardinals, with the Pope 
at their head, to be transported to North America, and 
set up their head quarters here. 

187. When John Bull in the Old World resolved 
that he had a right to bind America in all cases whatev¬ 
er, the selfsame day a noise was heard in the air in the 
New World, for several hundred miles. 

J88. So on the 12th of November, 1833, 500 nulli- 
fiers met at Milledgeville in Georgia, with an ex-candi¬ 
date for the Presidency, who had been disappointed, and 
, unanimously resolved to go the whole hog in separating 
or seceding from the Union; when the day ended, at 
midnight the blazing meteors began in the heavens, 
shooting from the centre to the circumference, to be seen 
all over North America, until the sun absorbed them in 
the morning:! 

189. The daughters of Moab, by the counsel of Baalam, 
seduced the young men of Israel, and brought the curse of 
God into the Hebrew camp. So young women of fashion, 
are fond of a splendid place of worship; and hence, draw 
many to wait upon them and attend those splendid places, 
without anticipating any harm; but they are led in that 
way from the path of their forefathers, i. e. from Protes¬ 
tants to become Catholics. 

190. The souls of the Martyrs under the Altar cried 
for justice —and the Heavenly Host praise God for His 
judgment in retributing the blood of the Martyrs on the 
bad woman, who sat on a scarlet colored beast, and had 
got drunk with their blood, for by this act of retributive 
justice, the earth, w'hich hath long been in the enemy’s 
hands, reverts to its rightful owner. For God will put 
it into the hearts of the ten horns, or civil governments, 
as already begun, to eat her flesh and burn her with fire; 
to seize her treasure, and brake the ecclesiastical power, 
which heretofore assumed over the civil authority; and 
thqs divide church and state. 

191. In the original division of the earth, after the 
flood, the descendants of Japheth are said to people the 
Isles of the sea; i. e. Europe; for the ancients supposed 
Europe to be an island, and hence in prophecy it is called 
the Sea, to distinguish it from Asia, the main, which in 
prophecy is called the Earth 


28 


192. The Papacy, or first beast, rose out of the sea, 
Europe. The second beast came out of the earth, Asia^ 
and exercised all the power of the first beast before him. 

193. When Bonaparte had the Pope a prisoner in 
France, and Rome the third imperial city in his empire— 
then was fulfilled the chain and succession of power from 
Rome Pagan to Rome Papal, and so to the second beast 
from Asia, who exercised all the power of whkh he 
had stripped the Pope. 

194. The beast was, and is not, and will be again— 
and ascend out of the bottomless pit—slay the two wit¬ 
nesses and perish at the battle of Armegaddon —when 
the Angel will stand in the sun and call all the fowls of 
heaven to the supper of the great God, to eat the flesh of 
kings and princes—and the two beasts,, or beast and false 
prophet, will be taken away, and this be the last battle 
ever to be fought in our world. 

195. The Magog of Ezekiel may refer to the same 
thing; as it takes seven months to bury the dead and the 
weapons of war answer the Jews as fuel for fire, seven 
years, without going to the forest for wood. 

196. Magog was the grandson of Noah; and peopled 
the north of Europe and Asia, as is admitted by antiqua¬ 
rians, what now constitutes the Russian empire—Gog, 
the chief Prince (or Emperor) of Mesach, (Moscow) and 
Tubal or Tobolsk!. According to prophecy the Russian 
bear is to go against the Jews after their return home to 
their own land, with their immense wealth, which is 
not real, but personal estate. 

197. In 1724, Bangle wrote in German a calculation* 
on the fulfilment of prophecy. In 1754, Wesley abridg¬ 
ed a part into English. In 1793, it was noticed that four 
things were to take place in 1810—17 years ahead, viz: 
1st. the Pope to lose his temporal power—2d. the City 
to govern itself, 3d. this to be effected by a man from 
Asia; and 4th, that it would be 666 years from a particu¬ 
lar data—and by ihe fifth phial would have his kingdom 
darkened and lose his own power. 

198. Bonaparte became a commander in 1796—went 
into Egypt in 1798, and thence into Asia, and fought Sir 
Sidney Smith at a place called Achre in the plains of Galilee 
near where our Lord was born; hearing of the anarchy 
which threatened France, he saw a door to rise into 


power—hence in 1799 he got the command of the nation¬ 
al guards—in JSOO to be Consul, and in 180:i Emperor— 
and in 1809 he passed the edict to strip the Pope of his 
power; aud took him to France, and Rome was to govern 
itself as an imperial city—which edicts were to go into 
execution the 1st day of January 1810; and it was just 
666 years, the intermediate time between il43 when 
the power of choosing the Pope was taken from the 
people and lodged in the school of Cardinals; Bonaparte 
had his kingdom darkened and lost his power: and this 
is the data to the other two phials. 

199. The 6th is to be poured on the Euphrates or 
Mahomedan, or Turkish empire—waters, (people) dried 
up, &.C. that the way to the East may be prepared. Six 
years ago the Grand Turk had an empire of about 
2,000 miles square—but now only his Capital, with a 
strip of country like a garden spot around. 1st, the Rus¬ 
sian Asiatic array took and retained some provinces near 
the Euphrates; 2d, in Europe, west of the Black sea, 
sundry provinces have gone off to govern themselves; 
3d, Old Greece has gone off to govern herself; 4th, Al¬ 
giers and her dependences, France has taken; and 5th, 
the Pacha of Egypt has deprived the Sultan of the resi¬ 
due of his African domains, ancient Syria, the plains of 
Babylon and the Holy Land; thus the waters are dried up 
—and only the Capital remains, which in a great measure 
burnt down, that the three great powers—Russia, France 
and England may amalgamate, as three general heads, the 
whole ancient scripture world, and thus prepare the way 
for the great battle of Armegaddon—each desiring the 
eastern ascendency, and hence to centre there. For the 
policy of the three courts on that head is well known by 
their movements for many years. 

200. The Egyptians placing the Mahometans and 
Jews and Christians upon an equality both as it relates to 
religion and politics—now, for th ^ first time for 1800 
years, appears the dawn of an opening for the Israelites 
to return to their own land. See the design to remove 
the disability of the Jews in England, and the paying the 
Jewish Priests out of the revenue in France, the same as 
Protestants or Catholics, and the anticipation of an Eas¬ 
tern empire under the Jews, as a balance of power against 
Russia; and also their Sanhedrim to govern themselves 

3 ^ 


30 


by a Grand Council since 1806—which they had never 
done since their dispersion by Titus and the Romans. 

201. The invitation for men of letters to improve 
Egypt, no doubt will be seized by the Jesuits to get all 
the ascendency possible in the east, as well as to have 
their emissaries wherever there are Protestant missiona -^ 
ries to thwart and counteract their movements. 

202. There are prophecies which no doubt relate to 
America. 1st, Isaiah, speaking of a country beyond the 
Rivers of Ethiopia with wings; 2d, the young Lions, in 
the 39th of Ezekiel; 3d, where the woman ''flew into the 
vvilderness,” after she had jled before into the countries 
north of the Danube—her last flight to the United States. 

203. The Image in Daniel with a gold head, and a sil¬ 
ver arm, brass thighs and iron feet, smote by a stone, &c. 
short condensed history—1st, Gold head, Babylon; 2d, 
Silver arms, the Meads and Persians united in Cyrus, 
who took Babylon; 3d, Brass thighs, Grecians under 
Alexander the Great, who subdued the Meads and Per¬ 
sians; 4th, Iron feet, the Romans, who conquered the 
whole—as law-religion exists in the old countries, that 
Image is not wholly gone by, but we exist in the days of 
the toes. 

204. But the stone shall smite it, and those ancient 
institutions will become as chaff —that King-craft and 
Priest-craft are the delegated power and gift of God. 

205. The rational principles of Wm. Penn, which 
have predominated in America, are illuminating the Old 
World, and King-craft and Priest-craft are going down 
the hill; therefore the Kings and Priests are alarmed; 
and the alarm has produced the un-Holy Alliance and 
called out the Jesuits from their dormancy, to act in con¬ 
junction together, in a general conspiracy against the 
liberties of mankind throughout the world. 

206. For if the principles of Light and Liberty pre¬ 
vail, Monarchy and Law-religion go by the board—but 
in order to arrest the progress of Light and Liberty, 
there is no way but to destroy Representative govern¬ 
ments and the liberty of the Press, according to the secret 
Treaty of Verona, and hence all men of information and 
liberal principles and influence in society, must be pro¬ 
scribed and cut off at a stroke, that the rest may be awed 
into obedience, as was intended by the arrangement in 


31 


1830, that produced the revolution in France, when the 
King and Jesuits were thwarted and had to flee. 

207. And the only way for the Americans to be safe 
and to maintain their liberty and independence, is to be 
wide awake against nullification, priest-craft and the 
arristocracy that is rising in this once happy land. Our 
liberties may so remain, and be handed down to posteri¬ 
ty, if the people do not give up the ship. 

208. Right Reason, (laying aside blind self-interest,) 
and virtue, and prayer in faith, with proper works, may 
«ave a sinking ship, rational liberty in a social point of 
view—not to divide and devour and sow all the seeds of 
dissention to destroy the union for temporary interest, 
and party purposes. L«^t a redeeming spirit of for¬ 
bearance be found in the land to prevail among the peo¬ 
ple, and by so doing God will save the country from the 
curse and destruction that some, who have lent themselves 
as tools, have endeavored to bring upon it. Amen! so 
may it be! 

209. The seventh phial was poured out on the air— 
what a blast in the atmosphere! Compare modern con¬ 
stitutions in the youth, and the state of society some 30 
or 40 years ago. 

210. Two years since, more deaths reported in Bos¬ 
ton and New York in a single week than any time be¬ 
fore; even yellow fever times not excepted. 

^11. The Cholera—50,000,000, swept off* since it 
first broke out down to some three years ago—before it 
got into Germany, France, or England; one-sixteenth part 
of the human family, by computation; and how many 
have been swept off since? There is not a nation or an 
island of magnitude where the scourge is not felt; and 
perhaps the United States, according to our population 
and number, have been the most favored among the na¬ 
tions of the earth; but there is a just God, who will hold 
us accountable for the use or abuse of the privileges we 
as a nation enjoy. 

212. In some parts the interference in elections— 
the injunction to the employed, not to go to the polls un¬ 
less tiiey vote as directed—on pain of dismission from 
employ. 

213. So in matters of religion: go where I say, and 
atteiid my meeting, or be dismissed; thus interfering 


35r 


in matters of conscience and religion, to bring about 
Church and State, Law-religion,—a curse upon the land. 

214, Calling white people slaves, locking them up to 
work more hours in the day, by an arbitrary power dis¬ 
played, than is exercised over the people of colour in the 
South, 

115. So in Congress Hall, long speeches, many words, 
to- display talents, get a name, pass off time; my wages 
are going on; and all to what purpose, but to disturb 
the land as it relates to the peace of society. 

216. So old Hickory—how strange to tell—that a 
man cannot act right, do as he may—not one single thing 
is rigid—all is wrong from first to last—if one must believe 
what others say, or what we sometimes read. 

217. To trammel and govern the Press, and the papers, 
encouraging or depressing their circulation, as the edito¬ 
rial matter may please or displease; so that interest shall 
induce compliance. 

218. How many ways and artful means are used to 
gain the ascendency in the land, all that,human nature 
can invent seems to be put in requisition. 

2U). One may form a judgment of the strength of 
most societies, by the number and size of the church; 
not so of the Romans, for they may have half a dozen 
congregations for Mass in one forenoon in the same house. 

220. There are young ladies. Nuns, called Sisters of 
charity, of handsome address, employed to get into towns 
and cities, to lay foundations for Catholic schools: and 
months may pass before the true character and object are 
known; and in many of the Protestant schools there are 
men, as teachers employed, whose character is not 
known. 

221. There is not a printer in the United States who 
would dare to be editor to a periodical vvoik of a particu¬ 
lar stamp, in the city of Baltimore. 

222. Out of 213,000 in New York, 52,000 are said to 
be Romans; and at Brooklyn, every fourth person; also 
in the District of Columbia, about one third of the in¬ 
habitants are Romans. 

223. There appears to be an unnatural spirit of a di¬ 
abolical nature exemplified in the world, as though the 
devil had come down in great wrath, as manifested by 
acrimony in the case of Avery, and the anti-question and 



33 


in politics, and about the subject of what some call reli¬ 
gion; perhaps he knows he hath but a little time and is 
determined to improve it. 

224. Some believe in a Mule devil, some in a horned 
one, and some in none at all. 

265. Mule devil; the ugly, bad deceitful, and re¬ 
vengeful spirit of man, which is constituted a two-leged 
devil; fallen Angels, evil spirits without corporeal bodies, 
in hieroglyphics, represented as a black man with horns; 
but a belief in the existence of both, may be nearer the 
truth than a negative of the whole. 

225. When the beast shall ascend from the “bottom¬ 
less pitt” and rise again, and that with diabolical 
strength and fury, and the new persecution begin, that 
will fall on outward court worshippers, formal Christians, 
as well as the sincere in heart; and Deists and Universal- 
ists will then fare no better than any other people, all 
will be cut off who do not conform, or are men of infor¬ 
mation, and influence and liberal principles; for there 
will be no neutral ground in that day; and to conform 
will not afford safety, for even then you may be cut off, as 
not trust-worthy in their view. Here then remember 
the WARNING by the third Angel, not to conform to the 
worship of the beast or his IMAGE—and there is not 
another such an awful and dreadful threatening in all the 
sacred volume, as is the one against conformity to that 
worship in that day. 

226. Who was it that landed at Amboy, in New Jer¬ 
sey, with about 30 others and 12 or $15,000,000, eigh¬ 
teen or nineteen years ago-—quit this country, amused the 
public with a rattlebox, and since his departure, has taken 
a new name? 

“ Dangers stand thick through all the ground!'* 

227. Here I must leave the subject to future develop¬ 
ment—knowing that my time is short, at best. The 
evening shades are coming on apace! But as a well- 
wisher to Zion and the public, and the whole world at 
large, may those into whose hands this may fall, take 
warning! timely warning, before the cup of their iniquity 
be full, that it may be well with them individually, 
and with the public also. 

228. The following extract from the Millennial Har¬ 
binger' on the “CatholicControversy,” I commend to the 


34 


serious attention of my countrymen, as confirmatory of my 
apprehensions of the designs of the Romanists: 

“This is one of the most important controversies of this controver¬ 
sial age. Important in all its bearings upon the Catholic religion, 
the Protestant religion, and the Christian religion, it cannot fail to 
interest all religious men. Important, too; in its bearings upon the 
political destinies of this nation, involving the fundamental princi¬ 
ples of free government; and placing again in a new attitude before 
the public mind, the question. Whether it is possible for any earthly 
government to exist, under which men’s political and religious rights 
and privileges can be kept perfectly aepaiate and distinct —it de¬ 
mands the attention of all political men. 

“ I have been, in a great measure, a silent spectator of the varied, 
ingenious, persevering, and bold efforts of the Romanists to gain^the 
political ascendency in this country. We have only once or twice, 
in a public way, called the attention of our cotemporaries to this 
subject. We have expressed the conviction, without giving the proof, 
that there is, on the part of the Roman See, a settled determination, 
accompanied with a lively expectation of success—a fixed purpose, 
from which ‘His Holiness’ is never to depart, to bring these United 
States into the bosom of the Catholic Church, and to add all America, 
North and South, to the territory of its dominions. Nor is this pro¬ 
ject so chimerical as many suppose; nor so implausible as many Ro¬ 
manists in America would have the Protestants to imagine. I am of 
opinion that it is practicable, if the Romanists can persuade our peo¬ 
ple that they have no such objects nor wishes; and especially practi¬ 
cable, if the present constitution, and manners and customs of secta¬ 
rianism continue for a generation or two. Already 40,000 Jesuits, we 
are informed, are silently and secretly at work in the bosom of our 
country. Priests have been shipped annually to this country, and 
landed in small groups at every seaport from Quebec to New Orleans, 
to avoid suspicion. Large sums of money have been advanced from 
the coffers of St. Peter to found schools, colleges, and churches in 
these United States. These schools are, in numerous instances, made 
so acceptable to our fashionable Protestants and philosophic Sceptics, 
that they prefer them to any Protestant schools for the education of 
their children. Many distinguished citizens, at this time, like our 
Virginia Governor (Floyd,) nave their children educated under the 
auspices of the Pope in Catholic schools. Catholic emigrants, in the 
ratio of three to one Protestant, are now crowding to our shores.— 
Only two years ago some unwary Catholics boasted that it was 
known at Rome that 700,000 Catholics were in the United States, 
and that their church was then more powerful and influential in 
America than any other. With all these documents before our 
minds, shall we hesitate to say, that things are in rapid progress ta 
such a consummation. Do we not now see, that even in our cities of 
New York and Philadelphia, the Catholic priesthood have the bold¬ 
ness to provoke controversy, and to challenge the investigation of 
their principles; and still more recently it is proposed to have various 
presses established in America for the purpose of making proselytes 
to the Catholic faith. Think not, then, courteous reader, that our 
fears have got the better of our judgment, when we express the con¬ 
viction, that measures, numerous and efficient, are being taken tOi 
bring all America into the Church of Rome.. 


35 


** ‘Where will the Methodists be,* said a Protestant to a Catholic, 
not long since, who dared to talk a little in this way—‘What will our 
half million of Methodists be engaged about in those days?’ ‘Meth¬ 
odists!” said the Priest, ‘Methodists! Why—their cler^ are as in¬ 
dependent of the people—as monarchical as ours! .Vlany of them 
will fall into our views. No sect would I rather see go ahead than 
the Methodists. Their Clergy will make excellent Priests! We 
have Jesuits now among the Methodist clergy. They are not known 
as such, it is true. We become all thirds to all men, that by all 
means we may gain some. Never mind—God bless the Methodistsl* 
“ ‘And What will the Baptists, the half million of Baptists be doing 
in those days?’ ‘What they are doing now—fighting about their 
creeds and their opinions. A feeble band—more than twenty sorts 
of them, and no one of them has an efficient ministry! They have 
not much concert, and they have few learned and talented men. 
Bless your soul! immersion travels slowly in cold weather!’ 

“ ‘But are not the Episcopalians learned and united?’ ‘Yes; and 
did not three of their most learned clergy, in New York, come over 
in one body to our Catholic church, a few years since? Even in 

England, good Old England, were it not for the Establishment-- 

I will not say it. They are better paid than our clergy, a hundred 

per cent. There is but a paper wall between us and them!-1 

wish the Episcopalians were more numerous in America!’ 

“Thus some of the more simple-minded of the Catholics talk, as a 
gentleman informed me the other day in King & Queen.” 

2:29. Look well to your safety and to the public 
safety too. Strive to conform to the will of God, as the 
*^Eternal rule of right ” Let your heart be in the cause, 
that you may worship Him acceptably, in “SPIRIT and 
in TRUTH,” and so meet the Divine approbation, and 
so insure His protection. That it maybe well with you 
here and hereafter, is my fervent prayer. 


THE VICAR OF BRAY. 

In good King Charles’ golden days. 
When loyalty no harm meant, 

A zealous high-churchman I was. 
And so I got preferment: 

To teach my flock I never mi.^s’d. 
Kings are by God appointed. 

And damn’d are those that do resist. 
Or touch the Lord’s anointed. 

And this is Law I will maintain, 
Until my dying day, Sir, 

That whatsoever King shall reign. 

I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir. 




36 


When RoyalJames obtain’d the Crown, 
And Popery came in fashion, 

The penal Laws I hoot’d down. 

And read the Declaration: 

The Church of Rome I found would fit 
Full well my constitution; 

And had become a Jesuit, 

But for the Revolution. 

And this is Law, &c. 

When William was our King declar’d, 
To ease the nation’s grievance; 

With this new wind about I steer’d. 

And swore to him allegiance; 

Old principles I did revoke. 

Set conscience at a distance; 

Passive obedience was a joke, 

A jest was now resistance. 

And this is Law, &c. 

When gracious Anne became our Queen, 
The Church of England’s glory. 

Another face of things was seen. 

And I became a Tory: 

Occasional conformists base, 

I damn’d their moderation; 

And thought the Church in danger was 
By such prevarication. 

And this is Law, &c. 

Wlien George in pudding time came o’er. 
And moderate men look’d big. Sir; 

I turn’d a cat-in-pan once more, 

And so became a Whig, Sir: 

And thus preferment I procur'd 
From our new faith’s defender; 

And almost every day abjur’d 
The Pope and the Pretender. 

And this is Law, &.c. 

The illustrious house of Hanover, 

And Protestant succession; 

To these I do allegiance sjvear— 

While they can keep possession: 

For in my faith and loyalty 
I never more will faulter. 

And George my lawfijl King shall be— 
Until the times do alter. 

And this is Law I will maintain. 

Until my dying day. Sir, 

That whatsoever King shall reign. 

I’ll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir.
